{{Ambox|type=notice|text=In Joomla! 1.5, [[Form field|form fields]] were [[Parameter|parameters]]. For that version, you may want to use the corresponding [[Radio parameter type]].}}

The '''radio''' form field type provides radio buttons to select different options. If the field has a saved value this is selected when the page is first loaded. If not, the default value (if any) is selected.

* '''type''' (mandatory) must be ''radio''.
* '''name''' (mandatory) is the unique name of the field.
* '''label''' (mandatory) (translatable) is the descriptive title of the field.
* '''default''' (optional) is the default radio button item value.
* '''description''' (optional) (translatable) is text that will be shown as a tooltip when the user moves the mouse over the drop-down box.

The XML <code><field></code> element must include one or more <code><option></code> elements which define the individual radio button items. The text between the <code><option></code> and <code></option></code> tags is shown as the label for the radio button and is a translatable string. The <code><option></code> tag takes the following argument:

* '''value''' (mandatory) is the value that will be saved for the parameter if this item is selected.

Tip: Don't forget to close the field definition with <code></field></code>.

Example XML field definition:
<source lang="xml"><field name="myradiovalue" type="radio" default="0" label="Select an option" description="">
<option value="0">1</option>
<option value="1">2</option>
</field>
</source>
